In the past 13th December, the Heads of State of the European Union approved in Lisbon the new version of the “European Constitution”.
In all countries (except Ireland) the Governments decided to take the decision to adopt this document in the National Parliaments, as they were afraid that, once again, the peoples and youth of the European Union countries would reject this document as happened in France and Holland, in the respective national referendums in 2005.
The World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) firmly rejects both the Governments’ strategy to approve this document and the document itself. We denounce the anti-democratic process going on in all EU member countries and we state that this is due to the fact that the content of the so called “Lisbon Treaty” will only bring more exploitation, poverty and war to the youth and peoples.
WFDY expresses its full support to all the progressive organizations that all through European Union member countries struggle against the “Lisbon Treaty” and we call upon all young people of Ireland to rally under the banners of anti-imperialism, national sovereignty, international solidarity and social development and give a clear “NO” to the EU Treaty on the referendum that will take place next month in their country.
Whatever is the path chosen or the devolopments occured, WFDY will never give up on the struggle against imperialism and will never accept the anti-democratic contents and procedures followed by European Union regarding the whole “Lisbon Treaty” process.
